After having nowhere near enough willpower to teach myself for almost a year, i have signed up for a class in Children's Book Illustration. It starts tomorrow, and I am quite childishly excited over it! I have packed a bag with paper and paints and pencils, and also have a dip pen and a bottle of ink, with filled me with glee, because it is a new thing.
So obviously, i am now trawling the Internet looking at inspiring things.
So far I have discovered the lovely Picture Book Illustration, and How To Be A Children's Book Illustrator, both of which look pretty and inspirational. picture-book.com is also full of images to inspire, and this looks interesting in terms of history, but right now I'm just itching to get started and wondering what our projects are going to be.
